          <p class='mb-3'>
            <span class='font-bold'>roadmap.sh</span> contains community-curated
            roadmaps, study plans, paths, and resources for developers. There are
            role-based roadmaps, listing skills you should for any given role, as
            well as skill-based roadmaps listing items to learn for any given skill.
          </p>
          <p class='mb-3'>
            It started as a set of <a

            > to guide the developers who are confused about what they should learn
            next, but then expanded into interactive roadmaps where you can click
            and get resources to learn any given resource, contribute by adding new
            roadmaps, suggest changes to existing roadmaps, track your progress as
            you follow a roadmap and so on.

          <h2 class='text-2xl font-bold mb-2'>How are roadmaps created?</h2>
          <p class='mb-3'>
            The project has a strong community that powers everything on the
            website. It is <a

              >the 6th most starred opensource project on GitHub</a
            > and gets visited by hundreds of thousands of developers every month.
            We also have newsletter with 150,000+ developers. All the roadmaps are
            created and reviewed by community and several subject matter experts.
            Also, anyone can suggest changes to any roadmap and we have a process
            to review and approve them.

            What are the plans for roadmap.sh?
          </h2>
          <p class='mb-3'>
            Our long-term plan is to make roadmap.sh a go-to place for
            developers whenever they plan on learning something new. We started
            with roadmaps, guides, videos and other visual content but we plan
            on introducing best practices, best-practices for certain tasks, quizzes
            to test your knowledge and prepare yourself for the interviews,
            project ideas to work on while following the roadmaps, public
            profiles to share your progress and interact with the other learners
            and so on.
